Whether you are enjoying a camping adventure or simply some family time outside, we can all relate to how annoying insects can be. The need to constantly scratch an itch can not only lead to irritation but simply ruin your fun time! Although it may seem simple, there
are a few important techniques on how to correctly apply ZONE® insect repellent for it to work effectively. Check out our site for the best protection on the market!
Make sure to first read the instructions located in the back of our ZONE® Insect Repellent Spray. Hold the bottle 4-6 inches (10-15cm) away from any exposed skin or clothing, making sure to keep the nozzle pointed away from your face. Spray in a slow steady motion. Do not overdo it, as more spray does not correlate to greater protection.
Note: The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that any sunscreen first be applied to the skin, followed by the insect repellent. Avoid indoor application as you do not want to inhale this product.
Your initial spray should cover most of your exposed skin or clothing, but it will not reach all areas. Use your hands to evenly distribute and moisten your skin (similar to how one would apply lotion) making sure to protect those hard-to-reach areas such as the elbows, ankles, and knees. After all, we don't want those pesky mosquitos sneaking up on us!
We all know how off-putting it can be to accidentally get an irritating substance into your eyes, and repellent is no different. To avoid these mishaps, never apply this product directly on to your face! Instead, spray small amounts of bug spray into the palms of your hands and apply sparingly to your face, neck, and around your ears. Always make sure to avoid the eyes and mouth!
Note: If you happen to get product into these sensitive areas, quickly follow the “First Aid” section located in the back of your bottle.
Keep ZONE® Repellent out of a child’s reach. Never let them handle this product themselves. When using this product on children, continue the hand’s method by applying small amounts onto the palms of your hands and evenly coating their skin, once again making sure to avoid those sensitive areas!
So whether you are out on your next nature adventure or playing outside with your children, make sure to follow these steps to avoid being eaten up by insects! If you want the best protection make sure to use our high-quality ZONE® products, Shop Today!
